Hand Drawn Maps Release New Single and Live Performance Video, “Everybody Knows”

Indie rock duo Hand Drawn Maps have released their new single and live performance video of “Everybody Knows.”

The two create a unique sound that pulls influences from a vast array of genres including classic 1960s psychedelia all the way through current indie rock and pop. “Everybody Knows” is no exception, an infectious indie-rock anthem.

The band was started by lifelong friends Stewart Crichton and Blake Baldwin who write and compose all of the music themselves. Stewart said:

When it comes down to it, this song is sort of about a dysfunctional relationship, whether that be with yourself, someone else, or a substance. A lot of our songs deal with substances but this one calls that out in a more direct way.

Blake added:

I think there is a little bit of a f- you buried in this song. I’ve always pictured it as dealing with someone who has a bunch of negativity going on, and they might not even be aware of it themselves, but everyone around them knows what’s up. Sort of a call out like, “Hey, you’re not fooling anyone. We know your game.”
